While a general agreement had been in place for some time, his signature was only finalised after further discussions.<\/p>\n
If confirmed, the deal would represent a major coup for the Stormers, who would secure one of the most in-demand young playmakers in world rugby and anchor their long-term plans around a player widely viewed as a generational talent.<\/p>\n
The flyhalf\u2019s stock has soared after a dream season in green and gold, where he established himself as South Africa\u2019s first-choice No.10. His record-breaking\u00a037-point performance\u00a0in the Springboks\u2019 emphatic 67\u201330 win over Argentina in Durban was a defining moment, underlining his growing authority at Test level.<\/p>\n
The new contract is reportedly worth close to\u00a0\u00a3800,000, placing Feinberg-Mngomezulu among the world\u2019s best-paid players and helping fend off strong interest from France and elsewhere.<\/p>\n
While the Stormers have yet to confirm the deal, all indications suggest the waiting game is nearly over, with Feinberg-Mngomezulu\u2019s future set to remain firmly rooted in Cape Town.<\/p>\n
